I searched all over for an affordable and sturdy shelf for my kitchen. This one by far was the most affordable at the size and weight limits for heavier items. Like other reviewers, we did use different screws than the ones that came with the product, but knowing that in advance, I was prepared. The base was slightly crooked and the shelves slightly dinged, but once you put items on the shelf, you really don't notice it at all. If you're not too worried about the tiny details, I'd say this shelf is a win!
